UN chief Antonio Guterres in Somalia, appeals for $825m

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived in Somalia Tuesday morning on his first field visit since he took office in January in what he said was “a show of solidarity with Somalia people”.

Mr Guterres held talks with President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo and is expected to visit people affected by hunger and cholera.

The Horn of Africa nation faces a triple crisis of famine, conflict and a cholera outbreak with about three million at risk.

The visit is meant to draw global attention to the humanitarian crisis.
